Gisborne Sourdough Questions, Answered

Do you really ship to Gisborne for free?

Yes — every New Zealand address, Gisborne included. Free shipping applies at checkout automatically with no minimum spend and no codes to remember.

How does a dehydrated starter survive the trip from Canada?

That's the beauty of dehydration: with the water removed, the yeast and bacteria go dormant and stay perfectly stable in transit. Just add water and flour when it arrives and it springs back to life.

I'm a total beginner — is this for me?

Absolutely. The pack includes plain-English, step-by-step instructions, and our Sourdough Academy walks you through your first loaf and beyond. Most bakers are baking within days of rehydrating.
